Brand, model no, and how much did it cost around?
Thanks for your help everyone.

    Scanners work better.

    scanners work a whole lot better, unless you've got a $30k digital back and set up a copy setup.
    If you are going to shoot zoom the lens out to the longest telephoto length, and be sure to use the close up setting if needed (it's usually a flower on the dial)
    IMO the best point and shoot camera on the market is the Canon G11. The Lumix is a close 2nd. The Canon runs about $500.

    Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's

    Epson Perfection V300 Photo Scanner ... I bought it about 1 year ago directly from Epson for a hundred bucks delivered ... takes great scans and probably works even better if I looked at the manual!
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    make sure if you get a scanner that it has a CCD sensor, it really makes a big difference

    I agree with this statement.

    My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)
